Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Reuben is playing racquet ball with Leland van Lew, you can see the camera crew in the reflection of the glass wall. Also, the reflection of the lighting rig with a crew member standing beside it can be seen in Leland's glasses.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene when Sandy is dressed as Judas Iscariot, he is wearing a wig and a fake beard. He is clean shaven. The very next scene he has a three-day shadow, but only minutes have elapsed.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene when Reuben and Sandy are playing basketball for the first time, Sandy's t-shirt is tucked under in one shot, and the next it is fine and un-tucked.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Reuben and his client are playing racquet ball, the client smashes against the wall and his tooth falls out. He shows the tooth to Reuben and the hole in in his teeth where it used to be, but in the next shot, Reuben's client smiles and all his teeth are in place.

Mistake Continuity: When Reuben "accidentally" bumps into Polly at her apartment for the first time, he sees her crouching on the floor trying to find her keys in her purse. Next to her is a shopping bag with a loofah in it, whose handle keeps dramatically changing position in each shot.

Mistake Other: The scenes that are supposedly located in St. Bart's have Chinaman's Hat in the background, which is a distinctive Hawaiian landmark.

Mistake Continuity: In the bathroom scene Reuben turns on the shower. A little later a bewildered Polly is looking at the bottom of the door door, from where thick steam clouds emanate. When it cuts back inside to Reuben, the steam is moving up and nowhere near the door.

Mistake Visible crew/equipment: When Reuben and Stan have a joint pee, there is a front shot near the end of the scene where the rectangular stage lights are reflected in Stan’s glasses, which looks quite awkward because the white bars cover his irises.

Mistake Continuity: When Reuben makes his toast at his wedding Lisa is holding her hands in front of her belly, but when the camera angle changes when he says “I knew she’s the one“ her arms are hanging down.

Mistake Continuity: While Polly is showing Reuben her ideas for the children's book, her arm and bracelet positions change as the view switches from behind to in front of her, and back.

Mistake Continuity: When Reuben returns from St. Bart he removes the throw pillows from the bed, which has a bent wooden back with sharp edges. In the next shot, when he goes to bed, the wooden back is flat and has round edges.

Mistake Continuity: When Reuben and Lisa lie on the beach he goes through the real-estate page of his newspaper. He draws a circle around one of the ads at the top of the page, but when we see a close-up of the page the circle is somewhere down towards the middle.

Mistake Continuity: For the arrival at St. Bart three different planes are used: The shadow on the ocean belongs to a single-propeller machine, the following close-up shows two engines and an antenna on top of the cockpit, and when the plane lands the antenna is gone and the engines are much smaller.

Mistake Other: In the scene where Reuben and Leland are playing racquetball, Leland loses a tooth. When he opens his mouth to take it out, you can see the space where it's missing. However, when it cuts to Reuben, you can hear the sound of Leland yanking it out of his gum.

Mistake Continuity: When Lisa comes back and sits on the sofa, her hair is hanging straight down her back, but it suddenly falls over her shoulder between shots.

Mistake Continuity: When Polly meets Reuben for the first time, the napkin switches form her left to her right hand between shots when the camera angle changes.

Mistake Factual error: Ferrets do not make anything like the noises the ferret in the movie makes. Most of the time they are completely silent, except when they are happy or excited, when they make soft 'dooking' noises. Others times they will make a soft hiss when playing/roughhousing. But they never sound like sick mice.

Mistake Continuity: At the end of the movie, Claude talks with Polly and Reuben on the beach. They tell him they are going scuba diving with Leland and call out to Leland on his yacht and wave to him. When Claude goes away and Polly and Reuben head into the water, there is no sign of the yacht (and this is a wide shot of the beach).

Mistake Continuity: While talking in the parking lot, Polly's shawl changes from wrapped loosely around her shoulders to tight around her neck. When tighter, her purse strap is also more prominent.

Mistake Continuity: When Reuben and Polly go to that Latin club to dance, after he's had salsa lessons, you see the guitarist pointing to encourage him. Now, he looks as if he's a left-handed guitar player, but a minute later you see him in the background playing right-handed. If you look for it, you can see that his guitar is a Gibson, and on the "lefty" scene the logo on the headstock is obviously reversed, which means the shot got mirrored in post-production.
